Jake Paul Thinks We'll Live Forever

TL;DR

• 1

  Antifund is getting more institutional: Jake Paul and Jeff Woo say the fund has a 10 to 14% GP commit, Aquarian Holdings as lead investor, and a pitch to endowments that they can compound capital faster than traditional VCs.

• 2

  Their edge is distribution, not just capital: Paul says many elite technical startups still have "day one" marketing instincts, and that even a basic 30-minute conversation about storytelling and user growth can materially help them.

• 3

  The investment strategy is a barbell: Antifund is pairing early founder bets with larger growth-stage positions in companies like SpaceX, xAI, OpenAI, Etched, and fusion startup Helion to get both upside and faster liquidity.

• 4

  Most Valuable Promotions found its wedge in women's boxing: Paul says MVP treated Amanda Serrano as proof that women's boxing could be scaled, helping grow her from $500 per fight to $5 million while assembling seven of the top 10 pound-for-pound women fighters.

• 5

  Paul thinks streaming beats pay-per-view for boxing: He argues piracy broke the old model and says the sport has moved from TV, to pay-per-view, to streaming, with Netflix becoming a core distribution partner even after the Tyson fight strained the platform.

• 6

  Haters are part of the growth engine: Paul frames backlash as simple math, saying critics talk about you more than fans do, which compounds clicks, views, recall, and trend velocity.
